Herr Ludwig Rosenthal, of Munich, devotes his new catalogue, No. 118, largely to Shakespeare, books relating to his works, and his influence on literature. The entire plan of the list is very interesting, and most valuable to Shakespeare students. Under Rabelais is the first collective edition of the first four books. 6,000 marks ; also a unique copy of a pseudo-Rabelais, Book V., "printed during Rabelais's lifetime (1549): on the inside of the cover is a note asserting the fact that a C. Mel- linger bought the book in Paris in 1549." This is priced 10,000 marks. There are Emblem Works a,nd Dances of Death. Among these is a collection
of 700 representations of Dances of Death, and
caricatures by engravers and after painters of the
sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries, in 4 port-
folios. This has taken years to gather, and is
5,000 marks. We would suggest to Herr Rosenthal
that it would greatly facilitate English purchases if
he were to give the prices in English money as
as well as i i marks.
Mr. Albert Sutton, of Manchester, has a catalogue devoted entirely to Magazines, Periodicals, and Transactions of Societies. This is a valuable list to keep for reference. We just note a few : Black- wood, 1817-1900, 12^.; Fra^r, 24'. ; Braihhatf* Manchester Journal, 4 vols., complete set, 1841-3, 12.*. 6d. ; Douglas Jerr olds Shilling Magazine, 1840- 1842, 5*. ; The League, the exponent of the prin- ciples of Free Trade, 1843-6, II. 5s. ; Household Words, complete, 1850-59, \L Is.; Once a Week, 1859-65, complete, I/. 4-*.; Temple Bar, 1861-94, 103 vols..4/. 17*. Qd. ; The lidiquary, 1860-93, 16/. 16*.; Punch, 1841 - 1904, 22/. (all original issues) ; and Nineteenth Century. 1877-1903, (]/. Among societies are the Chetham, 1840-1904, 24^. ; and Cumberland and Westmorland, 1877-1900, 20^. A complete set of ' The Tichborne Trial,' bound from the parts, 9 vols. in 5, with hundreds of portraits and views, folio, cloth, 1875-80, 4/. 15*. A complete set is very rarely met with. We should have thought that the Claimant had had enough of the trial, but the catalogue states that " he had great difficulty in procuring a set," and that "it was only after many years, with the assistance of the advertiser, that his set was perfected."
